Life and Spiritual Master-4

Touch or a dip of a pure devotee makes the difference in our life

It is said that due to bad luck, uncontrolled senses, attractions of material objects are causes of sinful life. For example, though a person is married but if his senses are uncontrolled and he looks at the other woman as a pleasure he is considered a degraded human being.

He is sure to be dragged into carnal pleasures and indulge into it without looking behind the consequences of life.

Once such a person indulges in such an abnormal or sinful activity also develops tendency to develop addiction with drinking alcoholic, eating meat and may be also gambling.

His purpose is to only enjoy the present and be happy out of the material pleasure he gets. Such are the symptoms of a person and this is the life of a sinner. He will not worry about his future. He will not be shocked or steeped in a sea of sorrow for any reason because he has no belief in these situations. Though he suffers very much yet may not surrender to the platform of goodness. But a person who in course of time suddenly realizes his mistake then he comes to a platform of knowledge.

There is story of a person who was married but got into connection of another woman who was an intoxicant, inferior in culture and he lived with her for many years. But suddenly after sometime she died. This gave the sinner a shock and was steeped into a sea of sorrow. He thought I cheated my first wife and the second whom I loved died of all a sudden. He started thinking and started wandering like a mad person to find out the truth because he liked the second woman very much. In the course of finding the truth of life he became a “Patra” (bowl) of blessings. He got in touch with some pure devotees who were dipping themselves in the sacred river. Having learnt from them the truth of life he touched those devotees and also dipped into river and changed his life.

Ultimately life can change only when we meet pure devotees who become our first spiritual masters. Life cannot change until the spiritual master comes to touch us and makes us dip into reality of life.

Gita says: After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto ME, knowing ME to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a soul is very rare. BG 7.19
